Great climbing wall with a super friendly and helpful team. Yesterday evening I was in Exeter with a flat phone battery and no charger, and the team at the wall charged the phone for me while my friend and I sat and had a lemonade. Life saver as this enabled me to navigate to get home later after a train journey! Thank you 🙏 At other times I have also climbed here and really enjoyed the variety of routes, the setting and the cake!

Amazing place to come and climb. Instructors are friendly and you can go at your own place with regular climbing, bouldering, auto belays and lead climbing. I understand there's a kids' section here too.
